Chapter 734

When Song Ziqi said these words, her eyes were full of heartache.

It was a posture of caring for Qiao Muting even more than his wife, Shu Xia.

Qiao Muting's brows and eyes were as cold as ever.

Zhang Tezhu was stunned.

Shu Xia's expression did not change much.

Old Madam Qiao imperceptibly cooled her aura and replied indifferently, "It is normal for work to be hard; Xia Xia's work is also very hard."

That kind of complex and monotonous work places extremely high demands on a person's temperament.

Zhong Jiejie once said that for those who can do her line of work, talent is one thing, but what is important is temperament and endurance; one cannot be without the other.

The smile on Song Ziqi's face stiffened for a moment, "Yes, Xia Xia-jie's work is also very hard."

She did not expect the old lady to defend Shu Xia like this.

In front of Qiao Muting, she did not hide her defense of Shu Xia in the slightest.

While they were talking, Zhang Tezhu had already set out the packed food.

Song Ziqi sensed the change in the atmosphere; she knew that if she stayed any longer, she would only be asking for humiliation, so she found an excuse to leave and did not stay.

After leaving the hospital, Song Ziqi took a taxi back to her house.

The renovated house was filled with the style she liked everywhere, and one could also see Jiang Tu's thoughtfulness.

Living alone in this big house, she felt full of loneliness and solitude.

Especially after seeing Shu Xia and Old Madam Qiao getting along in the hospital with her own eyes, and seeing Brother Mu Ting, whose eyes were filled with Shu Xia, she suddenly felt that she was an outsider.

No matter how hard she tried every possible way to integrate into it, it seemed to be out of reach.

This feeling of being shut out made her feel jealous.

She did not understand why, after returning to Jing City, Brother Mu Ting not only kept his distance from her but also accepted Shu Xia.

With no one to confide in regarding her full heart of frustration, she thought of Jiang Tu and immediately called him.

No one answered.

She suddenly remembered that after her successful interview that day, Jiang Tu had already drawn a line with her; now that so many days had passed, Jiang Tu had never taken the initiative to contact her.

"Jiang Tu, are you going to stay away from me too?" Song Ziqi asked herself softly.

She casually opened her phone to look through Jiang Tu's Moments.

She was shocked to find that Jiang Tu's Moments were still stuck on the day of their engagement; he had not posted anything since, and their chat history was still stuck on her inquiry about the house renovation from a few days ago, which he had not replied to.

This counted as completely ignoring her.

He liked her so much; was he really not planning to pester her anymore and was giving up on her just like that? Was he willing to let it go?

Thinking of this, she put on her coat and ran out, taking a taxi to Jiang Tu's house.

After knocking on the door a few times, it opened.

The moment the door opened, Song Ziqi was dumbfounded.

She saw that the person who opened the door was not Jiang Tu.

It was Jiang Tu's fiancée, Xie Ran.

She was wearing Jiang Tu's shirt; the places that should be covered were covered, but it revealed a kind of post-coital allure and pure desire.

This scene was incredibly shocking.

Song Ziqi's face turned deathly pale, "You..."

"Are you looking for Jiang Tu? He is taking a shower; you can come in and wait for him," Xie Ran asked with a calm tone.

Looking at Xie Ran's complete mistress-of-the-house posture, Song Ziqi suddenly thought of the time she had lived here before.

At that time, Jiang Tu put her first in everything and took very good care of her.

As a result, now, not long after...

In just a few short days, another woman had moved into his home!

Xie Ran knew Song Ziqi; in their circle, they all understood a little about the things around Qiao Muting, and she also knew that Jiang Tu liked Song Ziqi, but anyone with eyes could see that Song Ziqi's intentions were not on Jiang Tu.

Since Jiang Tu was already engaged to her, their relationship was that of an above-board engaged couple.

Therefore, when facing Song Ziqi, she had nothing to hide or explain.
